Chapter 286 Ancestral Hall (Revision)

Xiao Jin is actually not the patriarch that the clan elders like, but Xiao Suian's father died suddenly back then, and the family cannot live without a master for a day. For the sake of the family's development, the elders of each clan can only temporarily push Xiao Jin to the position of patriarch.

It's just that compared to Xiao Suian's father, Xiao Jin's ability is not 01:30 worse, otherwise the old man of the Xiao family would not have left the position of head of the family to his youngest son Xiao Yan.

Since Xiao Jin became the head of the family, he did not lead the family to prosperity, but barely maintained the status quo, and even showed a faint trend of decline.

This made the clan elders a little anxious.

In fact, they all knew that Xiao Jin's ability was not enough to take on the responsibility of Patriarch.But under the circumstances back then, looking at the entire Xiao family, they couldn't find a better candidate than Xiao Jin.

But now it is different, they have found that better candidate.

That is Xiao Suian.

Xiao Suian was only in his teens more than ten years ago, and the elders of the clan all put the family first in their hearts, so naturally they would not hand over the family to a young boy to manage it.

But now more than ten years have passed, Xiao Suian's temperament and ability are far superior to ordinary people, not only is he not showing his emotions, but he is also thriving in An Xin's management.

These are very much in line with the requirements of the clan elders for the Patriarch.

If Xiao Suian is allowed to manage the Xiao family, it will definitely make the Xiao family prosperous.

With this in mind, all clan elders resolutely chose to support Xiao Suian when Xiao Suian expressed that he wanted to fight for the position of Patriarch.

And Xiao Jin, like a chess piece that has lost its function, was discarded by them.

The so-called unloading and killing the donkey is nothing more than that.

"Why did the clan elders suddenly open the ancestral hall?"

Xiao Jin walked to the gate of the ancestral hall, which was closed all the year round, looked at the tablets of the ancestors of the Xiao family inside, paused in his footsteps, and gradually had an ominous premonition.

The Xiao family's ancestral hall is the most sacred place of the Xiao family. It will only be opened once a year during the worship on the evening of the New Year's Eve. Usually only a few clan elders are qualified to open the door of the ancestral hall.

And once the door of the ancestral hall is opened, there will definitely be major events related to the entire Xiao family.

Except for New Year's Eve, the last time the ancestral hall was opened was more than ten years ago. At that time, the ancestral hall was opened to inform Xiao Jin of becoming the new head of the family.

This time, it is also a matter of changing the owner.

The clan elders have already sat in the upper seats, and the other invited people are all side branches of the Xiao family who have some right to speak, and they also stand aside with puzzled faces.

If it was normal, they would have chattered about it long ago, but standing in front of the quiet and solemn ancestral hall, they couldn't help but become serious, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Among them, the elder with the highest seniority and prestige is over 80 years old, with gray hair and beard, and a red sandalwood cane with a dragon head in his hand. His name is Xiao Xiangdong.He coughed twice, and after attracting everyone's attention, he looked at Xiao Jin and said slowly, "Since the ancestral hall has been opened, there are naturally important things to do."

With the beginning of the clan elder, the others couldn't help asking questions in their hearts.

"What's the notification?"

"You actually opened the ancestral hall specially, so it's rare that this event is so important?"

The clan elder raised his left hand and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.After a while, the ancestral hall became silent again, almost a needle could be heard.

"This is the ancestral hall, everyone, please don't make any noise. As for what it is, I will announce it later." The clan elder straightened his back and looked outside the door, "But we have to wait for someone to come over first. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone sitting around looked at each other in pairs, with the same sentence written in their eyes: Who are you waiting for?How could that person be so late?

I don't know how long I waited, but the people around couldn't sit still, especially Xiao Jin, who always had an ominous premonition because his face was a little dark.

"I'm really sorry, there was a traffic jam, so I was late."

Just when the people in the ancestral hall couldn't help but prepare to talk aloud, a deep voice that was very familiar to everyone came in from outside the door.

Xiao Jin clenched his fists almost instantly, his pupils dilated.

It's Xiao Suian! ?

The person who came in was indeed Xiao Suian.

Seeing Xiao Suian walking in with steady legs, he glanced casually at everyone first, then walked up to several clan elders and said hello respectfully.

When everyone saw that it was Xiao Suian, they immediately stared at each other's legs for a long time.They had heard that Xiao Suian's legs had been healed by some magical doctor before, but they had never seen it with their own eyes, so they always held dubious thoughts.

Looking at it now, Xiao Suian's legs turned out to be completely back to normal? !

Hearing this, he subconsciously glanced in Xiao Jin's direction.

"You kid, don't go out earlier, let us old bones wait for you!" Xiao Xiang Dong clan elder feigned anger and raised his crutches and lightly hit Xiao Suian on the shoulder.

Xiao Suian's face was flat, he nodded slightly, and said seriously: "The elders of the clan are right, I will keep it in my heart, next time I will go out earlier, and I won't let you wait for me."

Hearing these words, the elders of the clan felt a lot in their hearts, nodded, and without any further words, they directly pulled Xiao Suian to his side and looked at the crowd.

"Everyone must have figured it out," Xiao Xiangdong said with a friendly smile, "The important thing I'm talking about today is related to following An."

Since everyone here can become the representatives of the offshoot of the Xiao family, it proves that they are not stupid, and they can naturally guess the reason why the clan elders opened the ancestral hall today.

Most likely they are planning to recommend a new Patriarch.

Everyone first looked at Xiao Suian who was indifferent, and then turned their heads to look at Xiao Jin thinking they were hiding.Although Xiao Jin looked normal and even smiled, they still caught a hint of gloom from Xiao Jin's eyes.

Although Xiao Suian is young, he looks more composed than Xiao Jin.

"It's like this," Xiao Xiangdong called everyone's attention with one sentence, and said slowly, "Xiao Jin has been the head of the family for 13 years, and now he is over 50 years old. The position of the Patriarch of the Xiao family, we several old men discussed together and decided to recommend..."

"Several clan elders, you didn't inform me in advance," Xiao Jin didn't want to hear Xiao Xiangdong's next words, so he interrupted him directly, "Since I am the head of the family, don't I have any right to know?"

No one likes to be interrupted suddenly. When Xiao Xiangdong heard Xiao Jin's question, his face changed, and then he smiled: "Xiao Jin, we know that you will be somewhat resentful, but we are actually thinking of you ’” After a pause, he continued, “We’ve actually mentioned this matter to you many times, but you haven’t answered us directly once. Since you didn’t answer, we have no choice but to answer for you. "

"Xiao Jin, haven't you always regarded Sui'an as your heir? Last time, you said that if Sui'an's legs heal, you will give him the position of Patriarch," another clan elder also said. Said, "Since that's the case, we didn't just follow your wishes."

"Just don't worry, we didn't make a decision alone. Since I invite you here today, I also want to invite you to make a choice." Xiao Xiangdong moved his eyes to the crowd again, "Our clan elders prefer Xiao Suian to come. As the new Patriarch, what do you guys think?"

The group of people under the seat looked at each other for a few times, but none of them dared to express their opinions first.

I don't know how long it took, but one of the middle-aged people said, "I think Xiao Suian is too young after all, it's too early for him to be the head of the family."

Xiao Suian's expression was calm, he glanced at the middle-aged man, and recognized that he had a relationship with Xiao Jin, and he was probably helping Xiao Jin by saying this.

"I don't agree with your point of view," another middle-aged woman also stood up, "Although Xiao Suian is young, he has been able to manage such a large enterprise as An Xin, which is a testament to his ability. If he leads the Xiao family, I feel very relieved."

With the leadership of these two people, the others also started talking.

"I think Xiao Suian is very suitable to be the head of the family. He is calm and mature, able to accept new things, and maybe he can lead the Xiao family to a brand new future!"

"Xiao Jin is obviously more experienced. He has been the head of the family for more than ten years and knows everything about the entire Xiao family. If it were a young man, I wouldn't worry!"

"I quite admire Xiao Suian, it would be nice to let him try."

"Xiao Jin is older after all, why not let him go back to be with his family."

Xiao Xiangdong glanced at the people who were discussing in full swing, tapped the ground with his cane, and waited for everyone to calm down before speaking: "Since everyone has their own opinions, why not make a decision by voting. In the end, the people's will You will be able to sit on the head of the family."

Everyone agreed with this suggestion very much. Even if Xiao Jin was unwilling, he had to agree.

In less than half an hour, the voting was over, and Xiao Xiangdong personally reported the number of votes.

"Xiao Suian won a total of 18 votes," Xiao Xiang showed everyone the votes on the table of the Dong Clan veteran, "Xiao Jin won 10 votes."

As soon as the result was announced, Xiao Jin's expression darkened frighteningly.

"Since this is the result of everyone's own selection, then I hope Xiao Jin you can accept it," Xiao Xiangdong smiled kindly, "Suian is your nephew, and you should be happy for him when he becomes the head of the family. "

Naturally, Xiao Jin couldn't be happy.

He gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he pretended to be kind and let out a voice, "That's really congratulations to Suian."

"I have to thank my uncle for his careful cultivation over the years," Xiao Suian nodded slightly, said in a low voice, and then added, "Don't worry, uncle, I will manage the Xiao family well."

Xiao Jin twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a half smile: "Then the Xiao family will be handed over to you."

"By the way, when will Uncle Xiao's Patriarch's impression be handed over to me?" Xiao Suian raised his eyes slightly and asked quietly.
